With all due respect for the State Department, but following the events from the beginning of the negotiations to the war in Gaza, I could note that Kerry was not fair with Israel. Jen Psaki always referred to the department, while knowing the facts and the truth, but she seemed to follow the guidelines of the administration, which now, after six years of getting used to saying things that later proved to be false, cannot be trusted. This is very disturbing for me as a citizen and a former officer, who is able to distinguish between truth and lie.

”General Dempsey, who is no slouch when it comes to military things, told an audience in New York that the Israelis went to extraordinary lengths to limit collateral damage during the Gaza war,” as per Matt Lee of the Associated Press. (Cited by Jonathan Tobin in his article titled “State Department’s War on Israel Exposed”)

It is annoying to read how Ms. Psaki covered herself in response to Matt Lee’s question. Having known for years that this department is very anti-Semitic and that Obama himself doesn’t always say the truth and that Ms. Pelosi thinks that the American people cannot distinguish between the truth and a lie, as the administration considers that the people cannot think and the government should think for them, I do not have any confidence in the administration.

Already when our president made his famous Cairo speech he didn’t impress me or the Arab audience, or the American audience because he was telling exaggerated stories. We know now that as the New York Time reported in 2011, “U.S. Groups Helped Nurture Arab Uprisings.” I can confirm that this is the way it was in Tunisia, where the US indirectly helped the religious people who called themselves the Ennahda, which is an affiliate of the Muslim Brotherhood.

“When Obama took office he set about undermining Qaddafi, Mubarak and Assad. He worked in concert with Qatar, Turkey and the Muslim Brotherhood,” as Ted Belman, editor of Israpundit wrote on September 27, 2014.

I can conclude that the Obama administration used the same tactics and channels, Qatar, Turkey and the Muslim Brotherhood, to undermine Israel‘s position towards Hamas and the PA. Obama sent Kerry to force Israel into fruitless negotiations. This led to the Gaza war, to the destructions and the recent violence that already claimed many innocent civilians’ lives. It is a fact that Obama maintains good relationships with Qatar, Turkey and the Muslim Brotherhood and the US should recognize this and compensate Israel for the physical damage and for its tarnished reputation, which the Europeans now take advantage of.
